Comparing the DJI Osmo Action & GoPro Hero7
GoPro cameras have been a staple in bags of various photographers and videographers around the world. They’re almost ubiquitous in action genres at this point. They’re small, sturdy, and have decent image quality for their size. GoPro carved out a niche for itself in the late 2000s with the…
Review of the Sony RX100 VII
It’s no secret in the photo/video world that Sony is doing everything they can to set the standards for meaningful progress and innovation. I’ve also watched as they have given quality attention to the social space of photographers and made unprecedented leaps to partner with the creators that use…
A Studio Photographer’s Review of the Sony a7R IV
Since the release of the Sony Alpha series of cameras back in October of 2013, Sony has been on a steady pace to take over the professional camera market. But that steady takeover has come with a lot of releases. Nearly six years later, ten different cameras have been released into the Alpha…
First Impressions with the Hasselblad X1D II
When Hasselblad introduced the Hasselblad X1D 50c, I was really excited, but like most early adopters, my enthusiasm was quickly replaced with disappointment in the cameras sluggish operation. It was painfully obvious that this camera wasn’t designed for shooting sports, action, or wildlife. Having…
First Look at the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K
Blackmagic, in record time, announced and released a new camera, but the speedy turnaround for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K makes more and more sense as you start to compare it to the previous Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. Not to give the whole article away in the opening paragraph,…
First Impressions with the Canon EOS RP
Canon dropped a bomb on the full-frame mirrorless world when the Canon EOS RP was released earlier this year, though many may have missed its announcement. Some people were excited to see a new entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera and others were bummed that it wasn’t the “pro” level camera…
In a World of Full Frame Mirrorless Cameras, Does the Fuji X-T3 Still Hold Up?
There is something of a revolution occurring in the photography world with mirrorless cameras. It seems most of the major players are entering the market with full-frame options to try and upset the stranglehold Sony has had for the last several years. Canon has its Canon EOS R series, and Nikon…
The RodeCaster Pro is the Near Perfect All in One Podcasting System
Podcasts are hot right now. If you haven’t thought about starting your own or choosing to take part in someone else’s, you probably listen to one (or several, in my case). Personally, I co-host a podcast with YouTuber Ted Forbes from The Art of Photography, and you can catch new episodes of that…
Review of the Fuji GFX 50R Medium Format Camera
There is a divide within the camera manufacturing market. The majority of the users are interested in lighter, sleeker, and smaller camera bodies that don’t make large sacrifices to image quality or the conveniences from luxuries of previous generations. The other side is those of us are okay with…
The Nikon P1000 is the Most Fun I’ve Had with a New Camera in Years
With over ten years as a professional photographer, I don’t really get the ‘GAS’ (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) like I used to. I’ve become pretty content with the gear I’ve acquired over the years, and so new purchases have become more about the marginal upgrades and business expense than the…
Nikon Z7 Review | A Portable Landscape Photography Workhorse
For this camera review, I am going to unabashedly focus on the genres of photography for which the Nikon Z7 is best-suited. Because, honestly, most readers already know how the Z7 stacks up against its competition – at least on paper. Although my hobby is landscape, nightscape, and timelapse…
Review of the Canon EOS R Mirrorless Camera
Canon has, at least in recent years, been a bit boring with their product announcements. Whereas Sigma is developing incredible lenses pushing what we once thought was once impossible, and Sony is adding focus points by the hundreds with each new announcement, Canon has just sort of coasted along,…
